Kings of Tone examines twelve masters of tone revealing their gear and effects formulas (and how you can emulate same with your own gear) along with their singular approaches to "touch" and stylistic phrasing.

While our quest is ultimately about finding our own "voice" and signature sound, we must first study the masters, just as they studied those who came before them. Kings of Tone dissects the styles, touch, tones, amps, pedals, guitars and setups of Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Dickey Betts, Duane Allman, The Edge, Angus Young, David Gilmour, Keith Richards and Mark Knophler.

Your Professor of Tone is NYC session player and educator Jeff McErlain, whose standing-room-only workshops on the subject testify to his expertise stemming from years of tone exploration. "I hope to demystify the tonal qualities of these twelve players by sharing the insight I've gained over many years studying them and deconstructing their styles, touch and rigs."

  • Thats how I have my Tone pots wired on my Strat also, I think its the best of both world and you get a spanky in between position no matter what your tones are set for. I like to experiment with different caps too. With this setup you can have seperate caps for your neck and bridge. So if your bridge is way to bright add a .047 PIO cap on its tone and a .022 on the neck and it will help to take some of the dark/flub out of the neck and thicken the bridge at the same time. HOLLA AT YA BOY.

  • @berherbi: If you set it up right, no.(Assuming it's not a cheap piece of kit.)

  • @NotchDeltaSignal does a noise suppressor alter the tone? thx Berh

  • Noise gate ftw

  • thanks! But that buzz... wooo!

  • he's so bad at getting jeff' tone. are you kidding ?? i gave some advices to jeff's guitar tech once, and he appreciated.

    just use a good vintage fender amp or jtm amp, keep it clean enough and use a distortion pedal like a few he's using, ( go for a snarling dog wah for the more modern jeff's tones )or use the amp at high volume, remove the basse, get your tone knob at zero and play on the bridge pickup. but there's one guy doing good at giving jeff beck lessons. "quick licks"michael casswell

  • WHAT OVERDRIVE DO YOU USE ON THIS VIDEO,

  • Jeff Beck knows exactly what's in his guitars!!!!! He knows a lot about guitars, necks, bodies and electronics.

  • First lesson: Jeff Beck uses NOISELESS single coils.

  • Can you please get rid of the buzz,
